Hellebuyck surrendered three goals on 21 shots in a 6-3 win over the Senators on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck and the Jets found themselves down 3-2 at the second intermission, but the whole team stepped up in the third period. Hellebuyck didn't let the Senators score again, while the Jets rattled off four unanswered goals to claim victory. This wasn't a pretty effort for Hellebuyck, but it's his third win in four starts. He's allowed only nine goals on 113 shots, good for a .920 save percentage. One of the true workhorses in net, it's unclear if the 27-year-old would start both halves of a back-to-back, which concludes Sunday versus the Oilers.

Hellebuyck is slated to patrol the crease on the road against the Senators on Thursday, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck is off to a decent start to the season with a 2.50 GAA and .921 save percentage in his first two outings. The 27-year-old netminder's numbers are on pace with this Vezina Trophy-winning campaign last year. Given the abridged schedule, Hellebuyck will likely be hard-pressed to reach the 30-win mark for a fourth straight season but could lead the league in games played, making him an elite fantasy option.

Hellebuyck stopped 35 of 37 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
The Leafs' final goal was scored into an empty net. Hellebuyck did everything he could to keep the Jets in the game, but he didn't get enough offensive support to steal a win in Toronto. The 27-year-old has a strong .921 save percentage through his first two starts this season, but he'll likely get a breather in favor of Laurent Brossoit on Tuesday in Ottawa.

Hellebuyck is expected to man the crease for Monday's trip to Toronto, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Winnipeg has been idle since nabbing a 4-3 overtime win over Calgary to open the season last Thursday, but Hellebuyck will finally have an opportunity to make his second appearance of the season. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner will need to be in his usual sharp form against a high-powered Maple Leafs offense that has produced 11 goals through three games.

Hellebuyck will tend the twine for Thursday's Opening Night clash with Calgary, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck went 31-21-5 with a league-high six shutouts and a 2.57 GAA in 58 appearances last tear. The 27-year-old netminder should be expected to carry a heavy workload for the Jets this season and could be in line to lead the NHL in games played. With a back-to-back on the schedule after Opening Night, Hellebuyck could get an early night off.

Hellebuyck won the Vezina Trophy over Andrei Vasilevskiy and Tuukka Rask, the NHL announced Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck led the league with six shutouts and was tied with Carey Price for most games played (58). In those appearances, the netminder went 31-21-5 with a .922 save percentage and 2.57 GAA. Heading into the 2020-21 campaign, the 26-year-old backstop figures to once again be near the top of the league in appearances, which makes him one of the few remaining workhorses in an increasingly two-netminder era.

Hellebuyck stopped 30 of 32 shots in a 4-0 loss to the Flames in Thursday's Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Hellebuyck can't be blamed for the loss, as the Jets' offense went cold in the elimination game. The Vezina Trophy finalist will likely be a top-10 goalie option for fantasy mangers in 2020-21.
